    A lot of people are getting into that. So to be really successful you might need to specialize in some way.

    Maybe a tramp debt collector, where you turn up at peoples' workplace dressed as a tramp, and hang around reeking the place out until the debtor coughs up.

    Or maybe a eunuch debt collector, as they have in India, who turn up in a group at the debtor's place of employment and sing bawdy songs and raise their skirts to shock passers by. (I think the Indian revenue and customs are employing them now to chase up tax debts.)

    I think you misunderstand the question.

    I think he means, do you do:

    Internet security
    Computer physical access security
    Building security
    Something else

    Etc

    Well as I security expert you will understand that I must not elaborate too much but among the technologies I use is the insertion of SAML tokens in the message layer

    I too am keen to enter the security region - I have my own dog and I am very enthusiastic - some describe me as happy-go-lucky altough my dog can be very disagreeble.

    Flexible with rates I seek only 5 pounds per hour - with Dog its 5.50 - I think that is competitive in todays market.

    I've lost count of the number of 'generic' API's that I've come across over the years. All of 'em, when put to the test, didn't handle what was requested of them because the designers didn't have a proper understanding of the subject domain. The project managers have always been complete arses.

    Whenever someone uses the term 'generic' I think 'barge-poll'.

    Sparky would be my choice - easier then plumbing - but last I looked you had to get on the job skills to get qualified = zero chance for me.
